The present studies examined the association between self - concept structure and stability of self - esteem. In two daily diary studies, evaluative integration (organizing positively and negatively valenced self - beliefs into the same self - aspects) was associated with more stable self - esteem than evaluative compartmentalization (organizing positively and negatively valenced self - beliefs into separate self - aspects) among individuals with generally high self - esteem. Moreover, analyses of self - esteem reactivity confirmed that the sensitivity of state self - esteem to daily events was greater for compartmentalized individuals than for individuals with relatively integrative self - concept structures. Compartmentalization also was associated with greater sensitivity to experiences of social rejection in the laboratory, consistent with the view that integration affords greater stability of self - evaluations. These results suggest that some of the benefits believed to be associated with compartmentalization (such as high self - esteem) may have hidden costs that have not previously been considered.
